RUM Group Signs $13.7 Billion AI Chip Contract
RUM Group made a very large agreement to provide computer chips used for artificial intelligence.
The customer is a cloud company in the United States, but its name was not announced.
The agreement is worth about $13.7 billion over six years.
The chips and services will come from a site in Maysville, Georgia.
That site is still being built.
RUM Group will also let the customer buy millions of company shares at a very low price.
The company says it needs to raise money to complete the project.
Investors reacted positively, and RUM Group shares rose more than eight percent before trading began.
RUM Group signed a six-year, approximately $13.7 billion contract with an unnamed U.S.-based cloud customer.
The deal covers GPU access and related services from RUM Group’s Maysville, Georgia, facility, which is under development.
The customer will purchase GPU services in three installments, with the final payment dependent on a client-approved delivery date.
RUM Group will offer the customer an option to buy about 51 million shares for one cent each over six years.
The company said it lacks sufficient funds and plans to raise capital through debt or equity to fulfill the contract.
